Synopsis

Subtitled A Political Extravaganza , this is Shaw's meditation on the nature of power as King Magnus defeats an attempt by his popular Prime Minister Proteus to reduce his royal influence.

Rather than become a cipher, he abandons his throne and runs for the office of Prime Minister himself.

First produced by the Theatre Guild in 1930.
